The Scarlet Cross (16 page)

In
Angeline
, I have taken the liberty of imagining how this story might have continued.

I would like, yet again, to thank my good friends Jan Andrews and Rachna Gilmore for their patience, honesty, and expertise. They read far too many drafts of this novel. And to my husband, Jim, my thanks for helping me find the ending.
To my editor, Lynne Missen, and agent, Marie Campbell, I extend my gratitude for their vision. It was they who saw the pattern that this book and its sequel,
Angeline
, should take. And thank you, Noelle Zitzer, for shepherding it through its final stages.
Thank you to Kathryn Cole for her careful editing, and to Lynn and David Bennett of the Transatlantic Literary Agency for their support and continued guidance.
My gratitude, also, to the Canada Council for the grant that made the research for this book possible.
